DOES IRVING INSTITUTE PAY? 




By Emerson Hough, S. U. I., 1880 

JN a recent meeting of Irving Institute an old 
alumnus, now prominent in the legal profession, 
stated it as his belief that no portion of the edu- 
cation gained at the State University of Iowa 
was of greater value than that found in the work 
taken up by members of Irving Institute. An 
alumnus myself of some 28 years standing, I am 
very ready to subscribe to that statement, indeed 
more ready now than I might have been years ago. The 
statement is true not only in its application to those who 
intend to take up the legal profession, but to men of any 
profession whatever. In broader application, it would be 
true more especially in regard to America than to any other 
country. 

There is hardly any rank of life in our country where it 
is not now and then necessary or desirable for a man to be 
able to stand on his feet before an audience of one sort or 
another, and not only to think on his feet, but to be able 
express himself clearly and without awkwardness. This 
faculty, once gained, never wholly leaves its possessor. If 
it has not been gained by one means or other, it never can 
be summoned up on an instant's notice in time of need. 
Any alumnus who has been away from the school thirty, 
twenty, or ten years, will remember a score of instances 
where he has been obliged to speak — at a public meeting, 
at a banquet, before a board of directors, among a few 
friends, with preparation or without notice. If in the 
meantime Irving Institute has taught him that an audience, 
large or small, is not a fearsome thing, but an aggregation 



4 HISTORY AND ALUMNI REGISTER 

of human beings, with emotions which may be reached, 
with intellects which may be persuaded, then his task has 
been far the easier, and his performance far the more 
effective. We Americans are a race of public speakers. 
Those of us who cannot speak, want to speak; those of us 
who do, ought to learn, and that as young in life as pos- 
sible, to speak clearly and freely, with no cramping of the 
body and above all, with no cramping of the mind. Add 
to this the study of good models in English — a study which 
is learned in no class-room so well as in the forum of the 
debating society — where criticism is shrewd, where pretense 
is folly, where insincerity is fatal — and you have still more 
argument for the existence and for the future of this old- 
time feature of the State University of Iowa. 

As years pass, one may find one's self growing dim in 
his recollection of the higher mathemathics, of the special 
sciences, of the dead languages; but always his facility and 
ability in our own language, his facility and ability to do 
things in actual American life, will grow if he has had 
good grounding in the debating society. That training is 
cumulative, whereas the special study in this or that 
branch, no matter how wisely the course of studies may 
have been chosen, is in many cases precisely the opposite. 
The chair of Irving Institute means a progressive knowl- 
edge, one increasing in usefulness in years after the college 
is left behind. I^et any student do his best to elect only 
such a course as shall waste none of his time; none the 
less he will find after he has been away from school a 
number of years that in some of his studies he did waste 
some of his time in spite of himself, and in spite of the 
best counsel of his friends and instructors. Thousands 
would admit this; but, of all the many thousands of men 
who have gone out from the S. U. I. and from Irving 
Institute, I do not believe there could be found one today 
who would regret the little beginning in public speaking 
which he made in Irving Institute. In the debating socie- 
ties at times, of course, we are crude; at times we are 



OF IRVING INSTITUTE 5 

perhaps over-ambitious. At times we may undertake tasks 
too heavy for us, in our orations or our debates. None 
the less if we are in earnest, we are doing just as good 
work, just as indispensable work in Irving Institute as we 
are doing with time spent in any other work whatever 
within the University walls. 

It seemed to me, in a recent visit to the old scenes of 
Irving Institute, that the standards were in advance of 
those we knew more than a quarter of a century ago. 
There is now more adjustment of these standards to the 
conditions of today, less emulation of the high-flown oratory 
of a day gone by, more expression of the individual equa- 
tion, less attempt to make all conform to one standard of 
thought, gesture or expression. This is entirely as it 
should be, and it makes for the old Institute an increasing 
usefulness and value in these days of increasing changes in 
all our phases of life, University life or business life. Per- 
sonally, I wish today that I had given more time to these 
matters and less to some other matters during my college 
course. 

These being my sincere beliefs, I am very ready to 
chronicle my further belief that this line of work is some- 
thing which should be fostered by the University itself. It 
would please me to see Irving Institute better housed than 
it is at present. Its work should be recognized as depart- 
ment work. The University itself should go behind all of 
these debating societies, take care of them, recognize them, 
dignify them and promote them. In no one way could 
those in charge better add to the total striking force pos- 
sessed by the college man in the world outside of colleges. 
In no way could they better disarm the critic who condemns 
the college training as "impractical." 

I need not add my personal expression of delight at see- 
ing how splendidly Irving Institute today has lived up to 
and surpassed the standards which many years ago we 
recognized as proper ones for young men. The idea of 
contest, of comuat, is borne in upon us all early enough 



6 HISTORY AND ALUMNI REGISTER 

and often enough. Combat fairly waged, contest carried 
on fairly — those are principles fit for the life of American 
gentlemen; and as I never have seen, so I hope I never 
shall see come from Irving Institute any but men fit to be 
called] American gentlemen. 

Chicago, March 17, 1908 



HISTORY OF IRVING INSTITUTE 




^N January 26, 1864, forty-four years ago, twelve 
men met and informally discussed the propo- 
sition of founding a literary society. It was 
finally decided to organize, and a committee was 
appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws. 
These were formally adopted on February 13^ 
1864, and thus was organized Irving Institute, a 
literary society whose record is the brightest of 
any society's in the state, as is proven by its victories and 
the men who have gone forth from her walls. 

The constitution of the society places no restrictions on 
anyone who brings with him a desire to do earnest work 
and to uphold the standard of work done. The progress of 
the society has been so steady that the motto, "Ever Onward 
Step by Step, ' ' exactly expresses its history. The University 
Reporter of March, 1872, precisely defines the Irving spirit 
in these terms. "The Irving Institute is possibly the best 
example we have of a steady pull, a strong pull, and a pull 
all together. No flash, no show, only earnest steady work, 
backed by a strong purpose, with ready will, and adorned 
by an enviable social spirit." 

The civil war was almost to a close when the society was 
organized yet a large per cent of the Irvings enlisted, one 
rising to the rank of first lieutenant.

OF IRVING INSTITUTE 7 

Irving Institute has had three different meeting places 
during its history. For two years after its organization it 
met in one of the rooms of the Old Capitol. By action of 
the University authorities the society was given a room on 
the third floor of the old Collegiate building in 1866. This 
building, known as Old South Hall, was located upon the 
ground now occupied by the Engineering sheds. Most of 
the prominent Irvings met in this building and received 
their forensic training here. A great deal of anxiety was 
expressed for several years because of the danger from fire 
and the poor means of exit from the Irving Hall. On 
March 10, 1901, the Old South Hall was destroyed by fire 
and meetings were again held for a time in the Old Capitol. 
All the old records and documents of Irving were rescued 
and are now preserved in the library of the State Historical 
Society. For the last few years the society has met in the 
northwest room of Close Hall. Here in a beautifully 
decorated and furnished room the society now carries on its 
work. 

The first literary programs of the society consisted solely 
of debates. The society was equally divided into two sides 
with a leader for each side. Oftentimes the debates were 
drawn out until brought to a close by the lamp running out 
of oil. One evening, when the society had adjourned for 
the purpose of "banqueting on the success of the new 
organization," it was decided to add a declaimer and orator 
to the weekly programs. This is, with the addition of 
music, essentially as the program is today. 

Annual exhibitions were held for several years at which 
the best men gave selections. These were largely attended 
by the citizens of Iowa City and were usually held in some 
opera house. In recent years the society has given a play 
as a substitute for the exhibition. The Krodelphian society, 
our sister organization, usually assists the Irvings in the 
staging of the play. 

Great rivalry has always been exhibited with the Zeta- 
gathian society, honored and respected opponents. In the 



8 HISTORY AND ALUMNI REGISTER 

earlier days this caused each society to expend large sums 
weekly on music and fine programs. As many as 500 
people have attended the meetings of the societies. 

The Irving pin consists of a green oak leaf upon which 
lies a black " I. " In this ' ' I " is the word ' ' Irving, ' ' in 
gold letters. This pin was selected in the spring of 1907. 
A description of the earliest pin of the society cannot be 
found although it is certain that the society possessed a 
pin. The seniors are given a pin on their graduation from 
the society. These differ each year. 

The statement, however, that Irving Institute developed 
from the Ciceronian society, is false. The Ciceronian 
society was organized in 1862 by men who had deserted 
the Zetagathian society. The Zetagathian society refused 
to have anything to do with the Ciceronians and they soon 
disbanded. Irving Institute was founded by men who felt 
a need of forensic training and who were ready to sacrifice 
in order to secure such training. Contemporary societies 
at the time of the founding of Irving Institute were the 
Symphonian and Wright societies. 

In 1874 the first inter-society contest was held and took 
the form of an oratorical contest. These were continued 
until 1887. From 1887 to 1893 there is no definite record 
remaining of any contests whatsoever. In 1888 a great step 
was made toward inter-collegiate debating by the organiza- 
tion of the Saturday Morning Debating League which has 
continued until the present day. The younger members 
are here taught to speak extemporaneously and many of 
the recent stars were developed by this method. 

In 1893 inter-society relations were resumed with Zeta- 
gathian society. An oratorical contest was held in which 
the societies broke even. This arrangement gave place in 
1895 to the Debating League of the University. This 
league was composed of Irving Institute and the Zetagathian 
society. It was this league that brought about inter- 
collegiate debating, debates being held with Chicago, Min- 
nesota, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Illinois. 



OF IRVING INSTITUTE 9 

Besides the inter-collegiate debates there were freshman, 
sophomore and junior contests. In these Irving was phe- 
nomenally successful. From 1895 to 1898 all the contests 
were won by Irving, most of them unanimously. From 
1897-1908 Irving has lost only eighteen out of the forty- 
two with Zetagathian. 

There was, however, one great objection to this league 
and that was, that it was not a University affair. Accord- 
ingly in 1906-07 a new league known as the Forensic 
league was organized which comprised, besides Irving and 
Zetagathian, the Marshall Law and Philomathian societies. 
Annual inter-society debates were held between the members 
of this league. However, the old relations with Zetagathian 
will be maintained and a sophomore debate with Philo- 
mathian has been sanctioned. 

Irving Institute has produced many orators and has been 
very successful in being represented at the final contest of 
the Northern Oratorical League. This league, composed 
of seven of the leading western schools, holds a yearly 
contest. 

In the Hamilton Club contest Irving has placed three of 
the five contestants that have represented Iowa. This 
contest is under the auspices of the Hamilton Club of 
Chicago and is open to nine western universities. 

In athletics, Irving Institute has made a brilliant record. 
John V. Crum, the finest athlete Iowa ever produced, was 
an enthusiastic Irving. A large per cent of her members 
wear the "I." Every spring the society has a baseball 
team which places well up in the inter-society league. 

The members of Irving Institute number 884 up to 
January 1, 1908. This membership includes men who are 
at the top in nearly every profession. From Alaska and 
the Philippines to India and London former members of the 
society may be found, who by their labors have achieved 
in every conceivable line of activity marked distinction and 
well earned fame. 

Among the many famous alumni, none, perhaps have 



10 HISTORY AND ALUMNI REGISTER 

achieved such brilliant success as have Emerson Hough, 
Norris Brown and Carl K. Snyder. 

Mr. Hough, who now resides in Chicago, is author of the 
Mississippi Bubble, the Law of the Land, and many other 
works. His return to his alma mater for the first time 
since his graduation, as a lecturer on the Forensic League 
Lecture Course, was significant. 

Mr. Norris Brown, U. S. Senator from Nebraska, was 
probably as popular a member as Irving ever had. The 
records reveal the fact that Mr. Brown loved to play prac- 
tical jokes and many times is a fine recorded against him 
of fifty cents for "creating a disturbance" or "boisterous 
conduct." In fact, Mr. Brown paid the treasury more 
than any other member, past or present. 

Carl Snyder was here only a year. He is a voluminous 
writer and one of his works has been translated into nine 
languages. He is at present an editor on the London 
Times. 

Other members who have gained prominence are: 
J. C. Milliman, ex-Lieut. Gov., Logan, Iowa

Ti |EL,OW is a list of all the alumni, former members 
and members of Irving Institute. This list was 
made from the books of the secretary and the old 
Hawkeyes. Dean Currier deserves the thanks 
of the society for his help in preparing this list. 
There are a few whom it was impossible to locate 
but the majority were easily found. Members 
who are non graduates have "Un. G. " after their 
names. No street numbers are given and only occasionally 
have we seen fit to give more than one degree. This list 
contains the names of men who are at the top in nearly 
every profession. It is needless to say that they received a 
great part of their forensic training in Irving Institute.

DELTA SIGMA RHO 



Members of Irving Institute who have actually partici- 
pated in any inter-collegiate forensic contest are eligible to 
membership in Delta Sigma Rho, an organization formed 
"to recognize the scholarly efforts of contestants in Debate 
and Oratory." 

Chapters of the Fraternity have been established in the 
Universities of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan, 
Illinois, Chicago, Northwestern, Ohio Reserve, and Iowa. 
Many other Universities are preparing to be taken in. The 
idea, though of comparatively recent origin, is meeting 
with wide spread approval and in a short time the organiza- 
tion will be completely nationalized. 

The present active membership of the Iowa Chapter are :

PRELIMINARIES WITH ZETAGATHIAN 

It has been thought best, owing to the inability to secure 
accurate records and to the lack of space, to omit the pre- 
liminaries with Zet. The two societies have broken almost 
even from 1896 to the present time. Records before 1896 
are inaccurate. 



INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATERS 

Owing to the lack of space a tabulated list of Irving's 
debaters will have to be omitted. However, those who de- 
sire will have no difficulty in preparing such a list from the 
material herein contained. 



ANNUAL FRESHMAN ORATORICAL CONTEST 

This contest was instituted in 1905 by Messrs. Brackett, 
Brown, Shannahan, and Walker, who offered a prize of 
$20.00 to the winner. The winners of the contest are: 

'05, Dale Carrell— Philomathian. 
'06, Wm. L,. Carberry — Zetagathian. 
'07, Earl Stewart— Irving. 
'08, Glen E. Cunningham — Irving. 



ANNUAL SOPHOMORE ORATORICAL CONTEST 

This contest was instituted in 1906 by Geo. W. Egan, 
who offered a prize of $20.00 to the winner. It has been 
won by: 

'06, Walter Myers — Irving. 
'07, H. H. Smith, Zetagathian. 
'08, Mundt— Philomathian.
